I seemed to have bricked my device......... the phone just seems to hang on the white HTC screen.. I am very new to all this so please help with even the most basic and obvious steps.
Events that led to this:
Last night i unlocked and rooted my phone using clockwork recovery and then installed superSU. All was fine then.
I installed Nanobackup and took the backup as suggested.
then later today, after reading a lot i decided to try CYANOGENMOD'S root and then it all statred to fall apart.......
the phone never booted after that. first it used to get stuck on CYNOGENMOD's startup screen and it never moved forward. after reading some more I realised that i needed to update the BOOT.IMG file along with it which i missed. after this also nothing was happening.
I was thanking my stars that i took a complete back up and tried to restore it..... but as my luck would have it that also did not work.
Now i am stuck with a white boot up screen with the HTC logo on it. I can still connect to fastboot....... PLease help......Very desparate.
Thanks..... all and any help is appreciated.

Hi Thanks i tried all this again just to be sure.... but no help.
The command i am using for Fastboot is
Fastboot boot boot.img
This is correct??? Also just to be sure i have the correct boot file should i download the .zip file again.
Also i forgot to add that i installed CM downloader from Google play from there i directly downloaded the CM10 ROM. Is this why there could be a problem?
the correct command is: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then fastboot erase cache
the command is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" get the rom from this site its under original android development pick what ever you want
you will find steps in the rom page if you ddnt understand me

You probably messed up at the fastboot command.
Try the following commands again, and make sure you do them correctly:
1.Boot your phone to bootloader, connect to pc, and choose fastboot option.
2.Open your terminal in you're fastboot folder on your pc(hold shift+right click in that folder and choose open terminal here).
3. Extract your boot.img to that folder.
4. type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. Choose hboot(bootloader) option there after and choose recovery. Wipe all data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache(in advance option).
6. Install the rom again, via install rom from sd card option.
If your booting directly into cwm then you have flashed cwm as your boot partition and not recovery or both

Hello,
I think I have the same problem. I've tried to install cyanogennod to my HTX ONE X using the steps here on cyanogenmod's site.
I've installed the adb and the fastboot.
I've enabled USB debugging (it was enabled).
Unlocked the device.
Downloaded and flashed CMW (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-endeavoru.img)
Booted to CWM and installed Cyanogenmod + gaps.
After the reboot the phone stucked in rotating arrow. Tried restart the phone after approx. 20 min but the same problem. Than I've read that it should boot up less thank in 5 min. I've tried to reset + delete cache and install the CM ones again but the same problem. Than I've found one solution on 2 sites, flash CM ones again (using fastboot flash boot boot.img). Ahhaa now I'd undestud. I've flash the CWM as boot not recovery. Where can I find boot.img for HTC ONE X? Because I can reboot my phone and it's there (fastboot, hboot, ...) but the phone boots into CMW (there is an option to reboot to boot or classical holding the volume button and pressing the powen on). Can somebody help please? Thank you.

1.Boot your phone to bootloader, connect to pc, and choose fastboot option.
Done
2.Open your terminal in you're fastboot folder on your pc(hold shift+right click in that folder and choose open terminal here).
Done
3. Extract your boot.img to that folder.
Can't extract I tried severalprograms, but noone can open the content of the img file. This boot.img is recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-endeavoru.img?
4. type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Done without extracting the files in step 3. Everything vent OK.
5. Choose hboot(bootloader) option there after and choose recovery. Wipe all data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache(in advance option).
Done.
6. Install the rom again, via install rom from sd card option.
Done. But it boots again into CWM

sorry, the boot.img was in cmw.zip now the CM arrow is rotating again, but faster and it had started, yeeess
same but using twrp - doesn't seem to work
I was following this guide with the intention of installing Cyanogenmod on to my HTC One X (international version), and I got as far as the Flashing a ROM section, towards the bottom, when I reached step 5, which reads "Make sure you already have your shiny new ROM .zip on your internal memory as you cannot enable mass storage in the current recovery builds."
At this point I realised I had not done this, and I have no way of putting the ROM onto the phone. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to start from scratch, and if so, how do I do that?
I'm following this guide regarding installing the ROM, but is there a better one? That guy cannot spell.
I also have this thread open for CM10.1, but it's quite confusing. Should I be downloading the following?: Beta 7 (pure JB vendor): http://d-h.st/fo4 - Kernel 3.1.10 included.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, and "backed up." I don't know what I've backed up, but I've backed up something. I have not wiped anything, and I still appear to have a functional phone.
you probably backed up the stock rom however to push the rom onto your phone you should go into recovery and mount USB and the put the rom onto the sdcard that's it...

Do I just place the file in the main folder, or does it go somewhere specific? Thanks for your help by the way.
You can mount it inside the recovery as a diskdrive and yes you need that cm10.1 + gapps if you want them too. Mount it and copy the rom and gapps to it
Here is a small tut i wrote earlier. ...
This counts for recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 (otherwise a full wipe in any other recovery must be done)
In recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Remove the cable to the pc before installing the rom !
Then install CM10.1 after that GAPPS.....DO NOT REBOOT
Reconnect the cable and ......
type in the fastboot command window
Adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (the file from the rom)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot

Thanks for your comprehensive reply dude. Does the gapps (Google Apps I assume?) include Google Now? I'd become quite accustomed to that particular gadget and I will miss it.
Actually i have to guess yes.....i never tried it !

Ok, once this gapps is downloaded I am good to go I think. If I brick it I can just break it and claim it on the insurance. Although this phone is brand new because my old one drowned a couple weeks ago, so they mightn't like two claims in such quick succession.
yeah gapps have google now too

you need the cm10.1 rom.zip and the gapps.zip... go into recovery choose .zip and select the rom.zip first, after that install the gapps.zip following the same steps before... then reboot and enjoy the rom

Well you have a certain folder on the pc....from where you also flashed the recovery ? It contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe files ....right? You open the cm10.1.zip file and you see the boot.img file in there, you copy that to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it

oh yeah forgot about that sorry...
before going into recovery you should go into fastboot mode, connect the phone to your computer and type those command in the terminal/cmd, the boot.img file can be easily found in the cm10.1 thread or in the rom.zip... after that install the rom following the steps above...

I'm on a Mac, so the guide said I only needed the fastboot file, not the adb one. What do you mean "flash it"?
I've rebooted the phone as you said, but it just says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." I click Ok and it says that again.

fastboot mode: power off the phone, power+vol down, select fastboot and press power, you're done
You can go in the bootloader first and flash the boot.img. I described it the other way around because you end with a cache erase to avoid boot problems (got this from the thread itself)
Basically it comes down to this
You put the phone in the bootloader and you see a red text that says "fastboot usb"
At that point you flash the boot.img from the mac to the phone.
Then you unhook the cable and do the rest of the guide
Hi I have a India "HTC__038" CID HTC One X. I tried to install CM10.1 so these are the steps i did before I got stuck.
1. unlocked bootloader from HTC.
2. flashed cm10.1 nightly and gapps
unfortunately since i did not backup my ROM i am struggling to get my phone working. Please help me. Super crazed out.
You need to flash the boot.img file, and you need to install the vendors file too !
Make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10.1 then the gapps and then the vendors
http://db.tt/u5FF3jgi
Then you boot into the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader (from the commandprompt)
Then flash the boot.img file, its in the cm10.1.zip file
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
hi i am a newbie so please can we do this one step at a time please.
What recovery did you flash ? Type and version number ?
Edit : Ow and now did you flash the custom recovery ?
i did not have a recovery when i flashed it
You cant install a new rom without a custom recovery !
The basic steps are :
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom recovery
Make a full wipe
Install the new rom inside the custom recovery
Flash the boot.img with fastboot commands from the pc to the phone
You didn't do your homework mate
Go in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
There are tutorials on Adb/fastboot commands ....
thats the problem. the ROM is deleted and I have no way of adding any ROM now. can we chat thru IM this is taking too long.
thank you. i have my phone now unlocked but i am trying to flash the "boot.img" (from CM10.1) and then going to recovery->backup and restore but still this does not do anything
Did you flash a custom recovery ? Flash this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Put it in the fastboot folder on the pc and Renske it to recovery.img
Put the phone in the bootloader and open a command window inside the fastboot folder. Hold shift + right mouse click then open command window here
Then you type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and go to mounts and storage - mount as usb diskdrive/mass storage. Copy the cm10.1, gapps and the vendors file there
Then perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Then do what i wrote my first reply
Ps installing the rom is done with the option :
Install zip from sdcard - choose zip from sdcard.
now how do i copy CM10.1, Gapps and vendor files from computer to phone. I am not able to see the phone on my disk drive.
Mount it as a usb mass storage device in the mounts and storage menu inside the custom recovery
WOW AWESOME. got it installed now. YOU SAVED MY DAY(/NIGHT). now time to spend time and get my phone back to how it was before. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

No RUU available for your device, I can't even find a nandroid backup for your device.. strange...
If you want to flash a custom rom you will first need to download that rom and put it in your sdcard using custom recovery>mounts and storage>Mount usb.
After than flash the boot.img from zip with fastboot and then fastboot erase cache.
Go back to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvic and format system. Flash the rom.zip and also the gapps.zip if required and then reboot!
If you want to restore the nandroid backup which you had taken (from the 1st post)... Here are the steps:
flash boot.img which will be found in /clockworkmod/backup/xxxxx/ via fastboot and then wipe everything and finally restore backup!

Hello I tried to install a new rom to my tablet today but have had nothing but problems. Here's a list of the events that happened:
1. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed TWRP
2. Flashed this rom and Gapps.
3. Rebooted and waited a long period of time at boot animation before powering down
4. Tried re-flashing multiple times with no luck
5. Restored TWRP backup to stock rooted
6. Flashed CWM touch
7. Flashed the same ROM and Gapps
8. Rebooted to the same issue as before
9. Attempted multiple re-flashes to no avail
10. Attempted to mount USB to try a different rom and was unable to mount usb
I don't know what to do next and I'm really worried that I've bricked my new tablet I'm relatively familiar with Android but I'm currently at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can flash the stock ROM using the appropriate file from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor
The flash-all.bat file within also flashes the stock recovery. You can flash TWRP after that, if you'd like.
Flash-all.bat should format things properly. However, for best results, I like using fastboot to do a full wipe before any flashing:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Thanks that seems to have worked!
Nice Job PanDae
